Radiography system, operation method thereof, and operation program

Abstract

A radiography system executes at least one of the following: prohibiting fluoroscopy and permitting still image capturing and continuous still image capturing in accordance with switching of a communication mode from the wired communication to the wireless communication; limiting a frame rate during the continuous still image capturing to a predetermined value or less; and disabling an auto exposure control function, which transmits an irradiation stop signal for stopping irradiation with radiation via a radiation irradiation device at a point in time at which a cumulative irradiation dose with which a radiography apparatus is irradiated reaches an appropriate amount.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A radiography system that has still image capturing, fluoroscopy, and continuous still image capturing as imaging modes, the radiography system comprising:
 a radiography apparatus that has wired communication and wireless communication as communication modes;   a radiation irradiation device that irradiates the radiography apparatus with radiation; and   a processor provided inside or outside the radiography apparatus,   wherein the processor is configured to execute at least one of the following:   prohibiting the fluoroscopy and permitting the still image capturing and the continuous still image capturing in accordance with switching of the communication mode from the wired communication to the wireless communication;   limiting a frame rate during the continuous still image capturing to a predetermined value or less; and   disabling an auto exposure control function, which transmits an irradiation stop signal for stopping irradiation with the radiation via the radiation irradiation device at a point in time at which a cumulative irradiation dose with which the radiography apparatus is irradiated reaches an appropriate amount.   
     
     
         2 . The radiography system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the radiography apparatus is a portable type and is attachable to and detachable from an imaging table.   
     
     
         3 . The radiography system according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the processor is configured to switch the communication mode based on whether or not the radiography apparatus is mounted on the imaging table.   
     
     
         4 . The radiography system according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the processor is configured to switch the communication mode from the wired communication to the wireless communication in accordance with detachment of the radiography apparatus from the imaging table.   
     
     
         5 . The radiography system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a control device including an operation panel that is operated by a user and configured to control the radiation irradiation device and the radiography apparatus,   wherein the radiography apparatus performs the wired communication or the wireless communication with the control device.   
     
     
         6 . The radiography system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the processor is configured to enable a scattered radiation reduction function of reducing scattered radiation by performing image processing on a radiation image generated by the radiography apparatus in accordance with switching of the communication mode from the wired communication to the wireless communication.   
     
     
         7 . An operation method of a radiography system that has still image capturing, fluoroscopy, and continuous still image capturing as imaging modes and includes
 a radiography apparatus that has wired communication and wireless communication as communication modes,   a radiation irradiation device that irradiates the radiography apparatus with radiation, and   a processor provided inside or outside the radiography apparatus, the operation method comprising:   causing the processor to execute at least one of the following:   prohibiting the fluoroscopy and permitting the still image capturing and the continuous still image capturing in accordance with switching of the communication mode from the wired communication to the wireless communication;   limiting a frame rate during the continuous still image capturing to a predetermined value or less; and   disabling an auto exposure control function, which transmits an irradiation stop signal for stopping irradiation with the radiation via the radiation irradiation device at a point in time at which a cumulative irradiation dose with which the radiography apparatus is irradiated reaches an appropriate amount.   
     
     
         8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an operation program for operating a radiography system that has still image capturing, fluoroscopy, and continuous still image capturing as imaging modes and includes
 a radiography apparatus that has wired communication and wireless communication as communication modes,   a radiation irradiation device that irradiates the radiography apparatus with radiation, and   a processor provided inside or outside the radiography apparatus, the operation program causing the processor to execute a process comprising at least one of the following:   prohibiting the fluoroscopy and permitting the still image capturing and the continuous still image capturing in accordance with switching of the communication mode from the wired communication to the wireless communication;   limiting a frame rate during the continuous still image capturing to a predetermined value or less; and   disabling an auto exposure control function, which transmits an irradiation stop signal for stopping irradiation with the radiation via the radiation irradiation device at a point in time at which a cumulative irradiation dose with which the radiography apparatus is irradiated reaches an appropriate amount.
